Mourinho: Inter is the best

Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho says Saturday's draw with Juventus has proved his team deserves to win its fourth straight scudetto. Juventus escaped a home defeat at Turin's Stadio Olimpico on Saturday, thanks to Zdenek Grygera's injury-time equalizer. "I like playing in the stadium of an historic club, drawing and seeing all the joy of a team that can return home with a 10-point advantage," Mourinho told reporters. The draw did not help second-placed Juventus narrow Inter's 10-point lead with six games left to the end of the season. "Today we showed why we're top of the league, because we are the best, the strongest," he said. "Mathematically it's not yet over so we won't claim the title. Juve's joy at the final whistle showed how highly we are thought of." Mario Balotelli gave Inter the lead after 64 minutes, but Grygera equalized the match in injury time although Juve played with 10 men after Tiago was sent off in the 75th minute. Juve coach Claudio Ranieri admitted that the bianconeri's 28th scudetto was out of reach, saying his aim was securing Juve's second place. "I am satisfied with a draw given we had a man less and were down by a goal. We must take lots of points and then see what happens. We want to make sure of second spot," he said. Juve is three points ahead of third-placed AC Milan, which will face 17th-placed Torino on Sunday. Fourth-placed Genoa suffered a knock to their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League after losing 1-0 at home to Lazio in another Saturday match.
